So, what's "Fernweh" anyway?

/ˈfɛʁnˌveː/

You may have heard Georg speak a language other than English with the kids. That is because we are a German-American family. "Fernweh" is a German word that describes an intense longing or ache for distant places, essentially the opposite of "Heimweh," or homesickness.


In a nutshell, this is how Tara and Georg met and it has become their life's motto, to "Follow your Fernweh".
